I am opening a local html file with Firefox on RHEL 6.3 with Gnome 2.28.2 and Metacity 2.28.0. Unfortunately, regardless of how I open it (terminal or java) Firefox always opens in the background, behind the application which called it.
Is there a way to force applications to start in the foreground? Perhaps something similar to the "&" parameter which opens applications in the background?

operator only has meaning in a shell environment and has nothing to do with windowing.
